Foreign, NRI, OCI students can also take CUET UG 2023: UGC
UGC has however clarified that, even after taking CUET, entry to a particular university will still be dependent on the institute's admission policy for these candidates.
Mumbai: Foreign nationals, as well as non-resident Indian (NRI) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) students, seeking admission to central universities in the country, can now take the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for undergraduate (UG) courses, the University Grants Commission (UGC) announced on Friday.
UGC has however clarified that, even after taking CUET, entry to a particular university will still be dependent on the institute's admission policy for these candidates. Despite the new rules, foreign nationals will continue to be exempt from the mandatory CUET requirement, as universities have been allowed to frame their own procedure to admit international students on 25% supernumerary seats.
